ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1.Remove the stove and parts from the carton and check for any damage
that may have occurred in shipping. Check the parts against the parts
list to make sure that all the parts needed to assemble the stove are
included.
2.Lay the stove on its back and install the legs (part #2002) by placing
the leg against the locating bar on the bottom of the stove so that the
threaded rod protruding from the bottom of the stove is in the slot in the
leg (see diagram on last page). Fasten the leg using the washer and nut
provided in the small parts bag. Tighten the nut snugly, but do not
overtighten. After the stove has been fired and cooled check the leg nuts
for tightness.

3.Set the stove upright on its legs and place the two heat baffles (part #
2005-L and 2005-R) on top of the shelves on the front and back of the
stove. The tapered ends of the baffles must be placed towards the ends of
the stove, and the square ends towards the center (see diagram on last
page). Your stove is now ready for installation.
PROPER AND SAFE INSTALLATION OF YOUR UPLAND STOVE
THIS STOVE SHOULD BE BURNED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA BECAUSE OF THE UNPLEASANT
ODORS THATARE GIVEN OFF DURING THE CURING OF THE
PAINT!!
CHIMNEYS:
Woodstoves can be attached to existing masonary chimneys if they are not
already being used by another appliance. An existing chimney should be
thoroughly inspected for cracks or loose mortar. Fire in an unlined or
cracked chimney can spread into the house. Many local fire companies
will inspect your chimney free of charge. Any defects in the chimney
should be repaired before using the woodstove. The chimney should also
be cleaned of any soot build up that could cause a chimney fire. Any new
masonary chimneys should be installed by a professional who has knowl-
edge and experience in chimney installations. It is not a job for a novice.
There are several prefabricated chimneys on the market at the present
time. This type of chimney should be installed according to your dealers
and pipe manufacturers specifications. Some of the common problems
with chimneys are:
*Chimney not tall enough, causing draft problems with puff-back of
smoke into the house. The chimney should rise two or three feet above any
roof ridge that comes within ten feet of it.
*Too many heating devices on a common flue.

House located in forest clearing. Wind moves across tree tops, drops down
into the clearing and down the chimney as well, creating draft problems.A
hill or a large building can cause the same kind of difficulty when the
wind is right. The evidence will be smoke puff-backs.
* Dirty chimney. Blockage can be caused by soot buildup, bird nests,
fallen masonry, etc.
INTERIOR INSTALLATION
The UPLAND Model #207 is designed for installation with the crimped
end of stovepipe inserted inside of the stove collar. The pipe joints should
run towards the stove rather than towards the chimney. This is to keep any
residue from running out of the pipe onto the floor.
Locate the stove where it will distribute the maximum amount of radiant
and convected heat. There must be a clearance of 36 inches from any
combustible surface. If the floor that the stove is placed on is not made of
stone or brick, an approved asbestos and sheet metal panel must be used
under the stove. The panel should extend at least 18 inches in front of the
stove, and at least 12 inches beyond the sides and the back. If a steel plate
is to be used it should be 24 guage or thicker.
The stove may be placed closer to a wall ONLY if an approved non-
combustible material is installed on the wall in compliance with building
and fire regulations.
Install the flue pipe with sheet metal screws at the stove collar and at all
joints. Use only approved stovepipe. A seven inch flue damper may be
installed in the flue near the stove to control the draft while in the Fire-
place mode.
INSTALLATION OF THIS STOVE MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH LOCAL BUILDING AND FIRE CODES. Copies of these regula-
tions are available through your local fire department. Following are
reprints of four suggested procedures for installation of woodstoves
prepared by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies.

OPERATION OF YOUR UPLAND STOVE
BURN WELL SEASONED HARDWOOD ONLY. This stove is a
heating appliance, not a trash burner!!
THIS STOVE MUST BE OPERATED INAN UNSEALED ROOM. It
is necessary to have enough air entering the room to supply the draft of the
fire.
CREOSOTE — FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces acetic and pyroligneous acids,
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire.
As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited,
this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and the chimney should be inspected frequently
during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire. Experienced chimney servicing personnel should be con-
sulted. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, char-
coal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen-up’ a fire in this
heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
KEEPALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALAT LEAST 36 INCHES
FROM THE STOVE. This includes wood to be burned in the stove.
NEVER POUR COLO WATER ON A HOT STOVE. Cast iron may break
when subject to sudden temperature changes.
BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR FIRST FIRE, cover the bottom of the
firebox with a two inch layer of sand. This protective layer must be main-
tained at all times during the operation of the stove. When making your
first fire, make a relatiavely small, slow fire so that the cast iron will cure
and not break. NEVER let the stove ‘run away’ as damage to it may result.

BURNING IN THE FIREPLACE MODE
1. Open the firedoor and pull the baffle nearest the firedoor to the end
of the stove towards the firedoor.
2. Open the front doors and build a kindling fire to the rear of the
stove. Once the fire is burning well, add larger logs to the fire.
3. When a good fire is burning, close the flue damper to the point
where the fire still burns well but does not kick back smoke into the room.
4. Place the spark guard in front of the door opening. Directions for
installing the spark guard are found below.
NEVER LEAVE THE FIRE UNATTENDED WITHOUT THE SPARK
GUARD IN PLACE
Below is a diagram of the spark guard and instructions for installation.
To attach the spark guard to your Model #207, bend the mounting tabs on
the side out and the bottom tab down. Now, hook the bottom tab on the
bottom of the door opening and at the same time slide the side tabs behind
the lugs on the opened doors. If the doors are to be removed, put the hinge
pins from the doors in the hinge lugs on the front of the stove to hold the
screen in place.

BURNING IN THE AIRTIGHT MODE
The Model #207 is “airtight” which allows exacting control of air to the
fire. Very little effort is required to maintain a dependable, even fire for as
long as ten hours on one load of wood. This exceptional performance is
due in part to the high degree of heat retention inherent in the cast iron. It
is also due to the scientifically designed heat baffle system incorporated in
the Model
#207.
The heat baffle system in the Model #207 causes the gases to flow in an
“S” pattern, minimizing heat loss up the flue pipe and causing the wood
to burn from front to back. This controlled flow pattern mixes unburned
gases with preheated fresh air, aiding in a more complete combustion.
1.Open the firedoor and push the baffle nearest the firedoor to the center
of the stove so it is touching the other baffle. If a flue damper is installed,
make sure it is in the open position.
2.Make a small fire of kindling and paper in the firedoor end of the fire-
box.
3.When the kindling fire has begun to burn well, place the larger firewood
on top of the fire. Leave the firedoor partly open until the wood begins to
burn well. NOTE: Never leave the stove unattended while burning with
the firedoor open.
4.When the wood is burning well, close the door and adjust the draft, by
turning the draft wheel, to the required heating level. Please be aware that
heat output is dependent on a few variables, such as the type of wood
being burned, the type and length of your chimney, and environmental
conditions. After the fire is burning well, actual heat output may be greater
with the draft wheel turned down slightly, rather than with it wide open.
5.After the fire is reduced to coals, pull the coals to the firedoor end of the
firebox using the hoe provided with the stove. Place a new load of wood in
the firebox and allow it to light before completely closing the door.
NOTE: The stove handles and controls are frequently too hot to touch. A
stove handle tool is provided for your safety and convenience.

CHANGING MODES WITHA LIGHTED FIRE
If the stoves mode of operation is to be changed while there is a fire
burning, the following procedure should be followed.
AIRTIGHT TO FIREPLACE MODE
1.Open the firedoor on the end of the stove and position the wood and
coals in towards the back and middle of the firebox. Be sure nothing is
resting against the front doors that could fall out when the doors are
opened.
2.Pull the left hand baffle to the firedoor end so the opening between the
two baffles is in the center of the stove.
3.Close the firedoor and turn the draftwheel to the closed position.
4.Wait about five minutes and open the front door slowly.
5.Reposition the fire as needed and put the spark guard in place.
FIREPLACE TO AIRTIGHT MODE
1.Remove the spark guard and close and latch the front doors.
2.Open the flue damper.
3.Open the firedoor and move the baffles to the right end of the stove. The
opening should be towards the fire door end of the stove.
4.Rake the coals towards the firedoor end of the stove and add wood as
necessary.
5.Close the firedoor and adjust the draft to the desired heat output.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled. Be sure to leave a 2” protective layer of sand in
the bottom of the stove after cleaning.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR STOVE
Proper maintenance is essential to the long life and efficient burning of
your Model #207. After the heating season, the stove should be thoroughly
cleaned and the paint should be touched up to prevent rusting while the
stove is not in use. When properly maintained this stove should last a
lifetime. Maintenance of the stovepipe and flue are essential for safe
operation while the stove is in use. They must be cleaned at periodic
intervals that will be determined by the type of wood that is used. When
first operating the stove, check the inside of the pipe every two to three
weeks to insure that the buildup on the pipe walls is not getting too thick.
